It's just basic biology actually: females are the selectors in the animal kingdom, and most men are not selected for. Why would females risk having pregnacy if they wouldn't have some genetical advantage in return?

For a lot of code generation I prefer Copilot to ChatGPT, but ChatGPT is better at giving a whole test suite for a file. I would be just too lazy to write the lots of boring, but important test cases, and I'm finding real bugs in code

They can use hardware wallets for digital signing the operations, and keep encryption keys offline, split the keys to make sure that there's no 1 person that can access it. There are lots of tools for key management, but lots of compan

At this point data on Android bugs shows that Rust clearly won. Also if we don't want government spying easily on all our devices (even open source ones), we all have to take safety seriously.

While I agree with you, I think sales is the most important job category besides engineering, and the usual problem is with the people who put themselves between sales and engineering. To know how important sales is, just see what is the m

It's not rare in my experience. It's basically a bunch of experienced engineers getting together for a weekend warning inexperienced engineers about newbie mistakes, like obsessing too much about new shiny tools / frameworks

Maybe it's true at some companies, but it has nothing to do with agile / scrum, but letting non-tech people who love confrontation take over engineering leadership from engineers who are afraid of confrontation (which sounds like

I read this all the time and see that software engineers don't even read the agile manifesto: ,,Individuals and interactions over processes and tools'' What you are describing is the opposite of agile

Looks amazing, thanks! I don't know why it doesn't have more visibility. I think one of the difference in goals is that interventions testing program repurposes approved drugs, while robust mouse rejuvenation is experimenting with

Refactoring is super fun, that's the part where I learn the most: after writing many features, adding the next one gets harder and complicated in my head, that's when I know that the code needs to be much cleaner so that adding th

Great, it explains the reason quite well: if somebody installs gas ovens, they probably get gas heating and water boiler as well at the same time (which is where the real money is at)

,,a loss of epigenetic information is a reversible cause of aging'' While it's probably the most important cause of aging, reversing it may be not enough. Also currently there's no way to prevent cancer cells from being

Aubrey de Gray just shared the details a mouse rejuvenation project last week that tests multiple compounds together. It uses 1000 mice, so it costs a lot, but finally there's enough money and data to start the mouse rejuvenation proje

I'm with others (it's worth it when there are more people / the code needs to be correct), but the example of Protobufjs is unfair: I expect it to be super complicated to work well with Typescript. TRPC is growing for a good

One more thing that can be used for soaking up rarely generated free energy are cheap old inefficient Bitcoin miners. There are many places already using it for this. Bringing Bitcoin miners to a place at this point is just shipping a conta

The requirement to detect something fake is quite easy, and we knew it for a long time: publish all data code and everything to make the expriments reproducible. Even if everything is fake, the code has value for further research. It would

The main difference is that they haven't (yet) secured a banking license. But they were not far from it, FTX bought a U.S. bank that it probably wanted to use for legal fractional reserve.

In your checking account yes. If you deposit money to safety deposit boxes, it's still in your posession, and the bank just stores it for you.

That's probably great as well, but I'm talking about searching for a book author. Just for example Clean Code is a great book, but the presentation is so much better: https://youtu.be/7EmboKQH8lM

I love to see presentations of people on youtube who write non-fiction books. It gives back their personality as well and it's a great middle ground between articles and books.

Generally when AI gets good on a specific task, it doesn't stop. What's more common though is that even though it gets good on that task, it may not translate to practical real world application. The best example I can think of is

The success rate is not what’s impressive in itself. It’s the speed of improving on the test. We can expect it to get to 90% soon, and that will have real world impact (replacing lawyers for easy advice questions).

I just randomly looked at one part: linked vector. I know that the comparision here is a line by line comparison, but Rust gives a more stable interface for reusing libraries than C++. It would be a great experiment to use lots of external
